Tax Bill Seen In Good Shape By Kennedy Aides

Officials doubt civil rights priorities imperil the tax plan though House skeptics fear a slowdown and Southern segregationists may stall with civil rights debates looming. The plan foresees a near 10 billion dollar net cut in two stages starting Jan 1 with about a billion in new revenue, plus rate tweaks and a corporation tax cut, while some Kennedy reforms may be dropped.
